Located in an area previously devastated by livestock farming, this house was built with minimal earth movement, preserving soil integrity. Raised on stilts, it allowed vegetation to grow even during the construction process. With an eco-friendly approach, the house primarily utilizes plantation wood, contributing to CO2 absorption and promoting a healthier environment. Its location on the slope of a hill provides breathtaking views and a unique connection with the surrounding landscape. Combining innovative design, environmental respect, and modern comfort, Loma Sagrada House represents a model of sustainability and harmony with nature.
